Process
We built a streamlined intake so you spend less time on logistics and more time actually losing weight.
A quick call or in-office visit with our team. We review your goals, health history, and any medications. No obligation — just clarity on what's right for you.
A full intake with Peiman Ghatan, PA-C or Dr. Jack Fatiha covers vitals, relevant labs, and prior weight-loss history. This shapes your starting dose and program structure.
You receive a prescription (GLP-1 or non-GLP, whichever fits) along with an injection or pill schedule, starting dose, and nutritional guidance from our registered dietitian Asal Hakim, RD.
Once your protocol is established, most follow-ups are handled by telehealth — dosage adjustments, side-effect management, and progress reviews from anywhere in New York State.
As you approach your goal weight, we work with you on a tapering strategy and long-term lifestyle plan — so results don't end when the program does.
Medications
Not every GLP-1 is the same. Our providers choose based on your history, goals, and tolerance.
Active ingredient in Ozempic & Wegovy
Once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Reduces appetite by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone produced after meals. Strong clinical evidence for sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.
Active ingredient in Mounjaro & Zepbound
Once-weekly injection targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Clinical trials show higher average weight loss than semaglutide alone — often recommended for patients who need a stronger response.
Oral medications & adjunct therapies
For patients who are not candidates for injectable GLP-1 medications or prefer an oral-first approach. Our team evaluates FDA-approved oral options alongside nutritional and behavioral support.

Yes. Once your initial in-office screening is complete, most follow-up visits — including dosage adjustments and progress reviews — can be handled by telehealth from anywhere in New York State.
Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which studies show produces greater average weight loss. Our providers will recommend the right medication based on your goals and medical history.
You'll meet with our provider for a health history review, vitals, and — if appropriate — lab requisition. We discuss your previous attempts at weight loss, lifestyle factors, and medical history to build a protocol that fits your life. The visit takes roughly 45 minutes.
A free 15-minute consult is the first step. No pressure — just a straightforward conversation about your goals and your options.
